Great knives - and kudos to Schrade for addressing design concerns with updated/upgraded features. Thanks for the review!

[@Wingman115]

+tnewdad You welcome.

[@Loumer003]

Great info! Thanks for the review. Look forward to picking one, or both of them, up.

[@baronblitzkrieg]

I really like the direction Schrade is going with their blades. They seem to be listening to their customers and reviewers. Thanks for the great review. Always enjoy your videos.

[@Wingman115]

Thanks for watching.

[@paulpall6719]

I love your channel! I'm a novice bushcrafter and I was all set to get the schf 36! Then the video came out! So now I'll wait for the 51 to come out. Thanks for the tips!

[@adamhutchinson6941]

thank you so much Schrade for picking me as a winner of the Schrade SCHF51 on face book

[@Wingman115]

+Adam Hutchinson Enjoy your new blade... Now get outside and use that thing.. Have fun

[@michaelhernandez410]

I liked your comments on blade edges. It took over a month to get a shaving edge on my SCHF9, spending 15 to 20 minutes a day sharpening it on the coarse side of an Aluminum Oxide stone. It keeps its edge remarkably well, even batoning through Mesquite and Texas Live Oak. I'm glad to see Schrade is putting decent edges on their new knives. Quality steel is a BEAR to sharpen. I'm considering purchasing the 51 after viewing this video. Thanks.

[@Wingman115]

Thanks for watching.

[@LetoAt77]

Great video, thanks for sharing brother! Really love the improvement Schrade has made and putting out a high quality high carbon 1095 blade for a common man price.

[@Wingman115]

Look for them to be in stores late fall.

[@dangerriff]

My schf52M arrived 4 days ago, and i love it!

[@brr8888]

Finally they are available!!! Great video, I've been not so patiently waiting lol just put my order in for one each!

[@Wingman115]

Vance thanks for checking in.

[@stevencarusone8778]

I’ve heard a lot of great things about this knife. Just ordered it from amazon. Great price at around $47 with tax. Can’t wait to get it and try it out. Looks a lot like my Hogue ex f01 with the micarta handle at 1/4 of the price.

[@turbulantme]

Awesome review video love the SCHF51, great job!

[@Wingman115]

+Rosemary Dawson Rosemary thanks for watching.

[@Wingman115]

[@MichaelTravis12c27]

Great review Jon. These look like serious wins for Schrade.

[@Wingman115]

They did a outstanding job with these models.

[@SUFFICIENTSURVIVAL]

That 52M is definitely on the get list for me! Good review Jon!!

[@Wingman115]

It's a fun knife to use for sure.

[@maureenrear5866]

[@Wingman115]

+Maureen Rear Great choice.

[@bruceamatic]

Thanks for the good information bought a Schf 51.

[@GearReviewDepot]

Finally a knife that could possibly replace my ESEE knives. Can't wait to get my hands on them. great review as always.

[@Wingman115]

Thank you sir.

[@jayp.2313]

Nice Job I can't wait till these come on the market

[@PrepperDel]

Love those blades man, thanks for the video ATB Del

[@Wingman115]

+Prepper Del 👍🏻👊🏻

[@charlesheady9973]

SCHF52M is one find looking knife. Great review.

[@Wingman115]

+charles heady Thanks Charles.

[@nuancolar7304]

The 51 seems strikingly similar to the Becker BK2. But hey, for 30 bucks maybe it's worth a try.

[@derecklockwood8633]

Thanks for the review bud! I was just sitting in my wheelchair watching your review and found your review informative and believable. There are some people out there doing reviews that you cannot take seriously because it looks like it's the 1st time they've ever touched a knife and should go back in the house and play video games with their significant other that they have never met, you know what I mean? But, I think you know what you are talking about or at least enough to do a good review. It's hard sometimes to purchase something online that you haven't seen in person yet. Good reviews help with that, so thank you. Being young on disability makes me poor, and I can't use knives, since I can't use my arms, so even though it's reasonably priced I still have to save up & have them in my house to drool over and daydream about and let anyone use them as long as they return them. Have to find some ways to entertain myself. Anyways, great review

[@Wingman115]

+Dereck Lockwood Dereck Thanks for the comment. I work really hard to keep it real on the channel. I'm learning like everyone else in life and I hope the information that I share about a product helps folks make a well informed purchase. Thanks for the channel support my friend.

[@derecklockwood8633]

Nice! Keep it up!

[@xd45acpshooter]

I got my new SCHF51 today. Wow, what a knife. I have only held it so far but I was surprised at its weight. I look forward to trying it out.

[@Wingman115]

Keep me posted. Thanks for watching.

[@5118eman]

After seeing on these knives, i got the 52 tpe version. And i've got to tell you it is one bad ass kinfe. Think it is gonna be my #1 camping knife. Thanx for a great video on these knives.

[@Wingman115]

Your welcome.

[@towerclimber7277]

Love the Micarta, feels great and has a ton of grip.

[@Wingman115]

It does have a nice feel. Thanks for checking in.

[@Rnemhrd]

Schrade is definitely stepping up its game. I want the 52. Need a 7 incher.

[@Wingman115]

+Rnemhrd You won't be disappointed.

[@sangamonriverrats6769]

great review!!! ........ i'm a huge fan of the 36 and 37 ... the new coating and the revised grips are gonna rock ...

[@Wingman115]

They work really well.

[@williamadams2136]

We like Wingman 115 and the SCHF51/SCHF52M and would love to win the new design. They would be really handy around the campsite especially. Also, thank you for the interesting and informative video above.

[@Wingman115]

+William Adams William thanks for stopping by.

[@daddio320]

I totally agree...wish my SCHF36 had this smoother coating.........

[@Wingman115]

+Chris Trak Chris after a bit of use mine got smooth and works well.

[@jeremymalatt2221]

Awesome review man as always. Can't wait for them to hit the shelves. I get most of my Schrade knives off Amazon. Take care man. Keep the videos coming, really enjoy them ! 😃

[@Wingman115]

Jeremy Malatt Thanks for watching.. More to come.

[@jeremymalatt2221]

Would you happen to know when these 2 knives come out?

[@Wingman115]

Jeremy Malatt Late fall in my latest intel report.

[@jeremymalatt2221]

Awesome. Thanks man!

[@BustedKneeAdventures]

great review of these fine blades. i just got the 37 and right off i filed the gimping round. am not a fan of the coating but what options are there if i strip it? BTW- love the backdrop you got there, wish we had some big flat areas like that here in L.A. area

[@JackThorsson]

Oh, both of these knives are sweet.

[@Wingman115]

+Jack Thorsson Thanks Jack..

[@TnGoWsKy]

That's an awesome looking setup. Wouldn't mind having one.

[@Wingman115]

They work really well.

[@vonkaz52]

love these knives,good video my man

[@Wingman115]

+vonkaz52 Thank You.

[@Feverdream7777]

Just got mine... I really do love it. my only beef is a hollow grind. Hollow grinds are for razors and skinners... not choppers. Essee has proved the full flat is superior for survival knives... I want Schrade to get with it.

[@DragonUdo]

Love my SCHF51

[@Patriot36]

Sweet review John! Great demo!

[@Wingman115]

Thanks for watching sir.

[@galenlong937]

John Great review, I am really liking that 52M, Looks like a good blade. Might just have to take a closer look when I can.

[@Wingman115]

Early fall release date for these blades.

[@primafacie5029]

I got a 37 with an uneven grind BUT it can take an unholy beating. This and some other reviews means I'll give the 52 a shot

[@BigFun4Life]

Great review my friend.Those look like a nice set of knives.

[@Wingman115]

Kip they really set the bar with these blades. They have done a outstanding job.

[@thomasnugent3836]

Very good discussion!

[@MonkeyMikeOutdoors]

I love my 52M I won from Schrade. Cant wait to use it!

[@MonkeyMikeOutdoors]

I have no idea what that means lol

[@robfromaz1977]

Great review. I just got a SCHF36. Kind of wish I would have waited and got the 51. I think I will keep the 36 any way. I have a BK7 for my primary carry blade and the 36 makes a great backup blade.

[@Wingman115]

robfromaz1977 Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@pappy451]

like both but i would take the 51. paired with a BK16,and perhaps a mora...all set knife wise. good video

[@AvoidingChores]

Well both look good to me. Glad you did some good demos

[@Wingman115]

+Jim Cyr Your welcome.

[@ajtaylor560]

Love these knives the shape and design is premo, just great products coming down the pipe. Really good review I love it when you pounded them i and then stood on them. Excellent~~~

[@Wingman115]

Thanks for watching b

[@davidinghram2494]

Good video, thanks

[@UtupaClone]

great videos thanks!

[@Wingman115]

Your welcome.

[@draconisignis6904]

After watching the first release review in Feb. I ordered two, one for me and one for my son. The blade coating is flawless, the weight is perfect for wood processing, the spine is wide enough for good solid baton action without splitting the baton. The diamond stone is traditional for sharpening but they might consider a sharpening system like on the BG ultimate pro sheath with the "V" block and bevel guide, makes sharpening the edge in the field mindless. The plastic liner used in the sheath has a bad habit of going off center when inserting the blade and you have to double check yourself when sheathing or the blade will penetrate between the nylon webbing and liner. So what I ended up doing was heating the top of the liner and opening it up to a wider bell that catches the blade tip and guides it to the center of the liner. Maybe a better sheath that is identical to the BGUP sheath except for all the orange. Like a full Kydex sheath with the sharpener on the tip would be cool. The belt loop with the snaps on it so you can remove the sheath from your belt with out hassling with your belt is an excellent feature, real easy to put onto backpack waist straps, so if they decided to make a Kydex sheath they should make the belt loop open on the bottom like the Mora sheath. BTW, the reason I upgraded to the SCHF 52 from the BGUP is the pro is a bit to short and a bit to light for survival needs, a survival knife needs some beef to it like the 52 has. Just a few things I think they should hear about at Schrade.

[@Wingman115]

+Draconis Ignis Good info thanks for sharing.

[@Cr0cket20]

Great review! Look like great blades. Wow, with that j hook as you mentioned looks like they really lock in the hand.

[@Wingman115]

***** The knife handle felt really stable and secure in the hand.

[@alaskaraftconnection-alask3397]

Fine review video regarding the Schrade SHF 51 & 52M. Here at Alaska Raft Connection - Alaska-BushRafter, I assess lots of outdoor gear pertaining to boating Alaska’s remote waters (mild to wild). Boating-wise… I evaluate rafts, catarafts, kayaks, canoes, sportboats, and hybrid inflatables and things like solid frameworks and essential on-water accessories. Concerning camp gear… I consider items significant to the accomplishment of a float plan, and what kit is dependable vs. failure in a true wilderness self-reliance trip --- whether it be experts or novices. I enjoyed your explanations and demonstrations as well as agree (tho' my sight unseen as of yet) on personal thoughts for the Schrade's (essentially) well founded updates to the excellent 36 & 37 knives. I have put the Schrade SHF 10 stainless , 26, 36, 37 carbon, and 37M stainless, (in essence aside from the 10 blade design being shaped quite different from others having mostly task equivalent steels other than the stainless and geometry features including updates to scales/handles) through rugged practical-side of field reliability testing. Continually with Schrade of lately, I am remarkably pleased/impressed with the overall capabilities and qualities of the knives. All of the models mentioned above provide complete straight out of the box package for just about any multi-role utility in a rugged bush blade. The pricing is unbelievable for what these knives exemplifies. I’d relate that at 3x the price for any of these, I’d still own any or all of these blades. --- Thanks for your time - Brian

[@Wingman115]

Alaska Raft Connection - Alaska-BushRafter Thanks so much for leaving a comment. It is great to hear from folks that use the gear!

[@DaAlphaOmega]

I think one of these will be the next blade on my list.I love the all around shape of the knife, handle/blade.Its very similar to the bk2 becker which I was going to get until I found out the bk2 handle is skeletonized.This severely compromises the strength of the knife.Are these knives solid in the handle? It makes a huge difference.I need to be able to trust my knife 100%!

[@jeremyg371]

Great video, thx.

[@Wingman115]

Your welcome. Thanks so much for watching.

Would love this for camping great knife.

Thanks for the video...

[@Wingman115]

+hhk kelly You welcome.

[@BibleStudent4U]

Great review on some great budget blades! I'm also a fan of the TPE and I have noticed that as I use the knives the TPE looses the outer surface and begins to mold to my hand very naturally. The new handle designs are a great improvement over the F36 and F37 knives, I love the "J" hook on the pommel!! It seems like a long wait to finally get these knives in my hands but it was worth it!

[@Wingman115]

+True Blade Thanks for watching.

[@BibleStudent4U]

+Wingman115 I have found when chopping with the F52 that it bites into wood even better than my F37 did because the chopping angle is much more forgiving than the F37. This knife will bite great even at an angle almost parallel to the ground. Amazing!

[@jc433j5]

waiting so much for this review

[@Wingman115]

Thanks for stopping by.

[@samuelgroves8238]

nice review! I like that 52

This would be a awesome knife for camping and hunting. Shared and shated

[@Wingman115]

+jimmy joslin Thanks for checking in.

[@martncam]

nice review. two very good knives. waiting for their availability. will probably replace or alternate with the Ontario gen ll sp47.

[@Wingman115]

+martncam Good stuff brother.

[@carravagio16]

thanks for your time and videos, i have a question maybe you can suggest something. Im a novice with knives, however i have a KA-Bar from 15 years ago that I'm still using and love everything about it, from the balance, the leather sheth and just the overall feeling it has in my hand. Can you recommend something more modern that would be similar to the Ka-Bar, that i can have while working in the yard and just to have on my hip when doing some bushcraft / car camping. Thank you very much for your time and advice

[@Wingman115]

+Brian Russell Brian it depends on how much you want to spend. If your looking for a bomb proof knife the Becker BK7 comes to mind. If you wan to spend more money I carry a TOPS Tahoma. If your looking to do bushcraft stuff. LT Wright makes some great blades that will last a lifetime

[@jeremysteckman9112]

where do I get the 51 and what is the msrp

[@grampawterry6104]

Thanks for the info brother ..very well done review ..

[@Wingman115]

+Terry Wydick Your welcome anytime.

[@michaelcolloton6971]

Good review! I'm glad Schrade actually listens to the people who use its products. The 36 and 37 (the one I own) are fine knives, but flawed. Those flaws have been addressed. I'd still take the coating off, though.

[@Wingman115]

+Michael Colloton They have a tough coating.

[@bishalgurung6557]

+Wingman115 brother i want to buy this blade in india...how can i get this .?

[@AngryIrishBastard]

Awesome review - both these blades are on my list - replacing my 37s in my bugout buckets perhaps you should do a review on what you do to be a "good knife owner" - maintenance, sharpening, reprofiling, etc

[@Wingman115]

Thanks for the idea.

[@elizabethwhite8948]

nice great review..

[@Wingman115]

+Elizabeth White Thanks for watching ..

[@amyjohns8058]

do you have any video sharpening the 52 with the smaller sharpener provided in the sheath? or any tips to do so?

[@Wingman115]

Get the Work Sharp diamond stone kit. I did a video on it works great.

[@KevinDufflev]

Yup it looks like it chops those little sticks real good which is what I need for my little wood stove but the cutoffs are all over the place.Guess I gotta stay with my saw.

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah John, I like the idea of showcasing two knives at a time to give us combo idea's.,,.

[@Wingman115]

Thanks Paulie

[@haroldbertrand852]

I think I like the SCHF51 better from watching the video... will ave to try it out fro myself....

[@Wingman115]

+harold bertrand Thanks for checking in.

[@FateofDestinee]

I like seeing the knives in action. That can be just as valuable as learning all the specs, etc. ...for me, at least :] Gave your vid a like.

[@Wingman115]

Thanks so much for stopping by.

[@GeorgeHomerHarley]

Sweet I love anything from #Schrade but that SCHF52M is my choice for sure out of the two :)

[@Wingman115]

+George Homer (Budmonster Harley) It's a great blade.. Good luck.

[@Morehills840]

Good review.

[@Wingman115]

Thank you for the comment and watching.

[@mewbourns]

Great blade

[@Wingman115]

+Ronnie Mewbourn Thanks for watching.

[@Countryprepper]

These knives look awesome. I really like the 37, so I gotta get my hands on that SCHF52 or 52M I might have to get in touch with Andrew to see if I can get at lease one of them to review before they're on the market.

[@Wingman115]

Country Prepper Thanks for stopping by.

[@theprophetez1357]

The video is right. My SCHF52 is geat and they are a great value too. I even did a little review on it with a video titled, I'm happy I got two great knives, and spent less than $50.00.

[@Wingman115]

It's a solid knife.

[@theprophetez1357]

Love it and use it.

[@jamesgreen4522]

Very nice blades.

[@Wingman115]

+james green Thanks for checking in.

[@johnhertzog8523]

now that's a knife well knives great review.You sold me as you said they both look like grand slams.

[@Wingman115]

+John HERTZOG They performed really well. They are a solid design.

[@ronwright2777]

How much does those knife 🔪 cost.plus like the Jethro machete.

[@kenhollandjr1251]

Nice video. Thank you. I purchased the SCHF 52M about three years ago. I paid 56+ for it. Now I come to find you can get them for under 40. Oh well, I like it. I kind of don’t understand why you’re wearing gloves, you may not always have your gloves with you. I just have a couple questions. What is the best device, or way to sharpen this bad boy. It really isn’t that sharp out of the box. In fact, it kind’ of sucks. Overall, it does seem quite sturdy. I’m thinking about wrapping Paracord around the handle, ‘cause I like Paracord. And it’s always good to have some I think. And also, the shesth is made out of polyester from what I’ve been told more times than nylon. I prefer nylon. The only way to really know is to clip off a piece, melt it, and smell it. Dead giveaway if you’ve ever cleaned carpets for a living. Polyester being the most widely used product for carpets. Plus, the bead of the melted polyester, plus the smell are a giveaway. I definitely prefer nylon. If you know what I’m saying about it. And the coating on the blades are a black ‘powder coating’. Thank you for your time.

[@AnthemBassMan]

That SCHF51 looks like a great, all around camping/survival knife. Just a beefy piece of steel.

[@Wingman115]

+AnthemBassMan It's a sound design that will last a long time.

[@BillHalliwell]

G'day Jon, Another great review. Loved the stepping off the log test. Apart from the handle configuration they remind me of a BK2 and a BK7 that you don't have to mess around with stripping off the coating and replacing the handles as a matter of course. Over the past year or so I've been impressed at how Schrade have picked up their game. These look like super serious; heavy duty bush/survival knives and as I've already got a great customised BK2 I'll be be looking seriously at getting a 52M. Shame you still got to find decent sheaths for these puppies but at the probable price point that's no great shakes. Thanks again for your time on these videos. I don't do social media so could you please do a quick video when these come onto the open market?

[@Wingman115]

Bill Halliwell I will pass the word on when they get released.

[@bluetunder40]

Nice One Bro!

[@Wingman115]

The Lone Patriot 111 Thank you sir.

[@elliottmazur143]

Almost there. Remove the ramp in the back, kill the jimping, remove the choil, and straighten out the back end for a good striking/ferro rod striker tip and we're 90% there. Make it Scandi and Schrade won't be able to produce them fast enough

[@mikefiles2087]

How dose this stand up to a bk2? They seem to be a close comparison. Was hoing to buy a bk2 until i started watching reviews on the 51 .. could buu this knife now have to save alittle for the bk2 is it worth waiting

[@Wingman115]

BK2 is a better knife.

[@jakeburns6566]

Torn between the Micarta and the TPE handle. Is it worth the extra money for the Micarta?

[@jakeburns6566]

Thanks. I am not the "easiest" on knives and I have read that the micarta can be brittle. Gonna play it safe and go with the TPE...for the first one. Thanks for the input and video.

[@theprophetez1357]

I bought the 52 and still think it is a good knife for many purposes

[@JnJTrueOutdoorAdventures]

Will be getting the SCHF52 straight from Taylor Brand here in a few days to replace the brand new SCHF37 under a warranty issue. I just received the SCHF37 yesterday, March 30, 2016 from a retailer store. When I got home, my first two tests was one, will it cut paper...yes...two will it baton like all the tests I have seen here on KZbin and like on their (Schrade's video) website...well yes and no...I batonned a split log for firewood that is over 3 years old...and then I went to split a limb about the size of a soda can and about a foot long, same age as the split firewood, and the knife broke in half!! Now again this was the SCHF37...Schrade is going to make it right, in fact they are sending me a SCHF52!! I hope that the 1095 High Carbon Steel is better now in the 52 than it was in the 37.

[@Wingman115]

+J & J True Outdoor Adventures Keep me posted on how the new one works for you.

[@scout-gear156]

+Wingman115 does the 51 rust

[@JnJTrueOutdoorAdventures]

+Wingman115 just an update. I did receive the SCHF52 and I am very well pleased with it and with Schrade's customer service. I have posted a video on my KZbin channel showing my review of the SCHF52 and in that video it shows the pictures I took of the SCHF37. I really like the feel of the grip, and the overall feel of the entire knife.

[@Jarhead6]

cool knives!

[@Wingman115]

Thanks for checking in my friend.

[@scottgregory6746]

any update on when the release will be for this blade

[@Wingman115]
